If you do end up "ripping it off", use a sharp exacto blade or non-serated knife. They are easy to remove, and aren't usually too fussy about it either, but can be a real pain in the butt to remount. They like to heal over instead of attaching...

I've had a really easy time mounting leathers (toadstools especially) by slicing the bottom or stalk in a cross and then placing the sliced open part over wherever I want it to attach to...
I suppose thats what you mean by they prefer to heal over rather than attach?

Kalifornia on this board showed me the technique when I picked up a euroreef off of him and he threw in a really nice toadstool, I took it home and did as instructed and it had attached to the rock I put it on completely within 48 hours.
I have since attached 3 others since with the same technique with the same results. I also just used a box cutter to slice it nice and clean.

Thanks, all....but I wasn't really meaning to focus on the toadstool, per se...but more on the problem itself
 I also have a clam, some SPS, etc...that have encrusted on big pieces of rock.

The SPS I'd just bust off the rock. Easy enough to remount if it came to that.
I'd totally leave the clams attached though. Although odds are good they'll let go anyhow in the new tank after a while, but getting them to let go on purpose just seems sort of risky.

I'm always up for adding to my tank. So what do you have for fish that you are wanting to sell? Pm me the list of what you are selling if you get the chance.
